The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

•••• Intent and reality conflict. Though you might be somewhat irritated by what occurs, deal with it. Ask an associate or friend to pitch in. Tonight: Think "tomorrow."

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• Your ability to take in the big picture is a wonderful asset. Be willing to revamp your thinking, not once, not twice, but whenever necessary. Tonight: Let your imagination choose.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• Tune in to your ability to grow and get past problems. Let others dominate sometimes. Allow a key person to feel important. You don't have all the answers. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• You might want to challenge another person or talk about what is bothering you. You might stun others with your spending. Could you be going overboard or overindulging? Tonight: So many suggestions ...

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••• Get an important project done, and make your workweek easier. Someone might stop you dead in your tracks with a suggestion. Be aware of your finances. Tonight: Your treat.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••••• Creativity mixes well with fun. Weigh the pros and cons of changing directions out of the blue, especially with a relationship. Slow down, stop and think. Extremes occur. Tonight: Avoid a power play.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• Accept changes rather than fight them. This transformation might be internal, whereas for others it could be external. Tonight: Listen to your instincts with a family member.

••• Listen to what you are hearing, and be observant. If you decide to take a certain risk, be sure you can handle the damages of an error. You can indulge yourself or a loved one without breaking the bank. Tonight: Tally up your expenses first.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• You are distinctly in your element. Even if you choose a pastime or activity that you loved several years ago, you might not be as happy with the choice today. Tonight: Anything that puts a smile on your face!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• By all means, do what works for you. A partner will become more verbal given time, so try not to judge a situation that involves this person. Tonight: Get some much needed rest.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••••• Either what you want is changing rapidly or a friend could be mucking up the works. Someone might be more into control than intimacy. Tonight: Where the action is.
